RJ5023 230 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'm not familiar with LB fishing down south, and the outcome won't make much difference to me either way, but that won't prevent me from getting involved in an issue that relates to rec fishing in SA.One of the big problems with rec fishing representation in SA is finding out what the 'locals' think about any issue, and what they would want to be done about it. In this case I think it's up to the 'locals' (southerners) to put their thoughts forward so that their local knowledge can be taken into account along with the views of the wider rec fishing community. This forum and this poll is one good way of getting a feel for both local and overall opinion about what should happen to the Stanvac jetty. Good work YackAttack. I'd urge everyone to get some fire in your belly and get stuck in (as some are already doing). Doesn't matter what your thoughts are - please just make sure that you express them, because that's how consensus is finally achieved.Once there a commonly held view, action can be taken. Without a common view, we are a rabble.I believe that it's way past time for all of us to get more involved and make some noise on a wide range of rec fishing issues. The Stanvac jetty is very definitely one of those issues, and this forum is an excellent way of gathering opinions. A win here would do wonders for the downtrodden rec fishers of SA; who have been down so long that they seem to have forgotten what up looks like.another 2 cents...Cheers,RJ wisdom, David Ciaravolo, Just Me and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotare 491 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Being so close to the desal plant and it's outlet I would have assumed the Port Stanvac jetty and the surrounding areas would be pretty poor for fishing. Not sure why anyone would want to fish there.... :dry: Disregarding that issue, it's a NO from me. Taking my fishermans hat off, as a state we simply don't have millions of dollars to remediate a dilapidated jetty, then thousands of dollars to maintain the thing anually. There are far too many needed public infrastructure projects being shelved already because a lack of funding. Another jetty to fish from would be a nice thing to have for a minority group to use, but the reality is we simply can't afford it. Just Me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kon 300 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Keep in mind that Mobil are required to restore the site, jetty dismantling and removal would have to be in the seven figure sum area. I have read figures of between 7 and 10 mil being mentioned.In lieu of going through the dismantling process, the money is paid to the gummint, thus "seeding" costs spoken for?Bricks suggested a "user pays" scenario, for argument`s sake call it a few bucks per head. Just one possible initial outcome - toilets (and possibly a kiosk ultimately) halfway along, jetty (initially at least) open daylight hours only (night-time bogan vandal factor spoken for), if there is an "in only" gate the "out only" gate has a fisheries officer in attendance during hours of opening inspecting all outbound containers (fish pillager factor spoken for).Self funding on a user-pays cost-recovery basis.Many ways to skin a cat.Talking years rather than months, I believe that area ultimately is slated for a complete "clean sweep" redevelopment, thus the jetty could certainly be a drawcard bonus. Another jetty to fish from would be a nice thing to have for a minority group to use, but the reality is we simply can't afford it.Apart from the self-funding financials mentioned above, "We" don`t seem to have problems finding mega millions for a footbridge to save a slightly bigger "minority" a 300-400 metre walk...and if anyone replies that is part of the overall city redevelopment package looking to the future (Convention Centre, Oval, etc) then exactly the same principle is applicable to the Stanvac area.Different scale, same concept.I reiterate - not a high personal priority for me, but at the very least all options should be considered while they are available as possible options.General recreational/tourist facility, potential scuba platform - jetty recfishing a bonus of course!

Reeve 10 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I find it somewhat amusing that people say it should not be opened due to the "marine park" factor because of the current restrictions in place. Yet i don't see similar support for proposed marine parks? Also, to say that the area would be raped and pillaged would be to say that current regulations and restrictions are not adequate in sa and any fishing spot could be raped and pillaged? If there was some proper research into it, and if it was deemed a fish " hub" so to speak, specific regulations were placed accordingly, I.e NTZ at a point of the jetty, i don't see why it would be such a crime to open it? Especially if either way mobil are going to be spending the money, better it is not going to sims. Voted yes Just Me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It may cost $7-10 million to dismantle, but if it costs $15-20 million to rehabilitate and restore, dismantling becomes the more cost effective solution. Apart from the self-funding financials mentioned above, "We" don`t seem to have problems finding mega millions for a footbridge to save a slightly bigger "minority" a 300-400 metre walk...and if anyone replies that is part of the overall city redevelopment package looking to the future (Convention Centre, Oval, etc) then exactly the same principle is applicable to the Stanvac area. Different scale, same concept.One dumb idea doesn't condone another, and contrary to what you have written plenty have questioned the logic of said footbridge. The view of many on here will be clearly biased because we are fisherman, and can see a direct benefit by having another jetty. But ask the rest of the population, who couldn't give a toss about fisherman/fishing issues, whether a few million dollars of tax payer dollars should be spent on:1) rehabilitating the Pt Stancvac jetty, or2) Additional funding for schools, health services, improving roads, or dare I say it, propping up unsustainable manufacturing industries so thousands of people don't find themselves in unemployment in the next 5 years....guess which option gets picked.And the concept that the jetty could be self funded is a great idea. But with the lack of funding available I'd suggest it would need to demonstrate a really good return on investment for it to be considered.Sorry for seeming negative, but this is reality IMO David Ciaravolo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Ciaravolo 34 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Once again thanks to all who have voted and also to those who have commented!It is very interesting to hear what SA fishers think about this issue..One thing I would say is please dont sell yourselves short, Recreational anglers make up a HUGE sector of the community. We also contribute in a big way to the local economy, (think) tax revenue. Together this means that if there is a 'Majority' or 'Popular' view/demmand held by anglers then it IS POLITICALLY SIGNIFICANT and we do contribute to the economy sufficiantly to argue for our demmands to be met.. This idea is not about redirecting all government resources to angling, its far more realistic and is about claiming the recognition we deserve based upon our demographic and ecomonic significance.Im not here to discuss or lament the failings of South Australian anglers to organise in the past.. its just to sad, and we could fill pages.But there are people who help the causes of recreational fisheres and this can only be improved upon. What I am here to do is to try gauge a sense of the future we want as a group...Then we'll see where we go. . this is the first step, this poll WILL accomplish something - it will help shape the next step, its not something I'll be Hotlinking to Pollies offices, we must conduct ourselves in a smarter, more coherent and professional manner than that!I also MAKE NO APOLOGY - this is not the only forum we are asking this question to and forums will not be the only place we ask for peoples opinion. But I ask STRIKE & HOOK because its is a brilliant comminuty of South Australian fisher folk who deserve to be heard.Please keep your votes and opinions comming,Im off for a fish!regards,Dave tonyb and RJ5023 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urhookedfish 12 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Regardless of how nice it would be to be one of the first to fish it, the good fishing would last about one season Maximum. It's a NO for me. It is an important feeding ground for big breeding snapper as the enter and leave the gulf. Best left untouched. Just look at Pt Noarlunga jetty on a busy day, you can't move or find a gap to fish in!I used to be supportive of opening it up but have since realized that this would be a bad idea. I think there are a lot of anglers who don't realize just how important this location is for southern fish species Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tonyb 1,017 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I note with extreme interest the amount of anglers, who for reasons totally unknown to them and also to me, have assumed an almost mythical status for this Mobil Jetty as a massive fish hang out and an iconic feeding spot for native fish including Snapper! This seems to be almost entirely founded on the basis that no-one has had access to whatever fish are in there, so, there must be masses of them as in the "grass is always greener on the other side" Think of the States Reservoirs which have been a mouth wateringly enticing carrot of masses of hungry big fish of all species just waiting to jump on any anglers hook, audacious enough to either trespass, or in my case, "DARE TO DREAM" we might all have legal access as our Interstate cousins have enjoyed for more that two decades due to a forward thinking Government!How have these mythical tales of 100 lb Kingfish and line smashing 35 lb Snapper, among super-sized KGW and so forth come about? The reality is we have a rock wall harbour (Sully's Harbour) a few hundred metres south of Mobil's Jetty of supposedly fishing nirvana, which in actual fact, boasts a sprinkling of tommies, Gar, Mullet, a few bream and I've even heard of a rare pinky snapper or two when conditions are perfect. I personally refuse to believe, until some "expert" who has done the work on surveying the fish populations tells us otherwise, that the fish here are indeed of gigantic proportions and that we should make a Sanctuary of the Jetty.Should this be the case and we do have a go ahead for a Sanctuary, and make no mistake if funding is provided, the Government will be committed to an EIS (Environmental Impact Statement), the problem will then be to lift people out of their apathy and get them to fight for what they want instead of, as one poster wrote, "Let it all slide under the sea" wisdom and Just Me 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the jetty is pulled down there'll be no research, and we'll never know what might have been or what the best outcome for everyone (and the environment) should have been.Perhaps the best result will be achieved if everyone involved is able to arrive at the best decision based on facts, and we need to keep the horse in front of the cart so that these facts have a chance of being established?Cheers,RJ Just Me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps that's why they are so far advanced over SA.

bricks 24 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 The other states are just as diverse in opinion as we are wiso.The deciding factor is that what occurs in other states, and particularly Victoria is money actually exists to fund the ides and projects due to a user pays system.While SA rec fishos continue to avert a paid licence of some kind we will get nowhere because no money exists.
